now, im going to do reviews because its what i do with mmy other stories and i am not going to stop now.

reviews!

SeverusSnapePrincess10 - yes, well if you didnt like it, it means that we are both doing something wrong...

McNasty4Slytherins - thank you! i've read a ew stories where Hermione was part cat, and soies where she is Snapes slave, but never one (not yet maybe) where it is both.

adrenaline animal - thanks, i hope you like it!

kamiccolo's rose - is this soon enough? been busy...

SweetieXoX27 - i wanted something different in a slave story, so i had hermione keep her cat assets. and her friends didn't noice them because she kept them under a glarmor and as she grew use to it, she would be able to control her tail to not get in the way.

D3AD L0V3 - thanks! glad you loved it! and sometimes i can find a way ti make my readers laugh...

KristenStweartFan - yes, i will continue...

Laurualowi - yeah... im not sure why i made her happy, i think its to hide the fear... but the sarcasim and jokes is what hides it the most

ThePenIsMighty - i will! and side question; are you hoping that Tony and Ziva will get together in the next season?

xSeverusxCrookshanksx - sometimes grammar isn't always spotted. but after i complete a story i usually go threw it again to catch mistakes and fix them and posting the chapters up again.

redskittlababy3 - thanks! hopefully you'd like what i have planned for later!

Chapter Two - Knowing The Facts

Hermione disposed of her soiled clothing onto the floor. After being held in a dungeon (a no where near clean dungeon at that) her clothes where not fit to wear till they had been cleaned, and until she could get new clothing, she was to wear these clothes. These dresses.

Who owned these dresses before her?

Did Professor Snape have a daughter? 'No, he doesn't seem to be the type to have a daughter, he hates children.' Holding a light green dress up to her body. 'Though, that doesn't mean that he just doesn't have one, who isn't a 'dunderhead idiot'.'

"Oh! Fuck this!" The girl said to herself in frustration, throwing the garment on the bed and stalking to the bathroom. Inside a cabinet that was placed over by a toilet in a corner, she could see a hair brush, shampoo, and some face cloths stacked on some towels. Hermione picked up the hair brush and took it with her while walking briskly towards her new bed. Taking her undergarments off and throwing them beside the dress, she sat down beside them and laid her tail across her lap. This tail was cursed, she bloody well would swear to it as a fact. it may seem like an innocent accessery attached to her, but nothing good has remotely come out of it. So far she has knocked things over, sat on her tail (that was painful!), one time the damn thing lifted the back of her skirt during one of the Professors visits (wait, that was Professor Snape visiting) in the infermory, and Ronald had decided that it was okay to pull her tail. Now that it was out for show all the time, the damn thing needed to be brushed almost constantly.

Cursed tail.

Wrapping her hand around her tail , Hermione started running the brush threw the short fluffy fur... along with the rest of the fur ALL OVER HER BODY. And now Snape knew about it.

Snape.

Severus Snape.

Her Potions Professor was now her owner. Hermione sat down on the bed after she was done with the brush and couldn't help that her thoughts could not stay away from the topic she was trying to avoid. 'Why am I owned by my Professor of all people. Given to him by Voldemort. I am not some item to be gifted!'She thought in anger.

And yet, here she was, housed by Professor Snape, Potions Exstrodernar!

=^.^=

While Ms. Granger was in her room, Severus took the time to go talk to Albus. The old coot would be wondering what happened to one of his prize students. Though, there was a large part of him that didn't want to go to his mentor and explain. Even some of that part wanted him to take the girl and run. 'And then you'd be seen as a pedophile you idiot.'

'But only if they ever find you.'

'What about work? Or Dumbledore and the Dark Lord?'

'The Dark Lord might understand, he'd view it as breaking her in for your own... personal needs.'

'And Dumbledore? Surely he would be disgusted with me.'

'He might have a problem with it if you were not a Slytherin.'

'I don't think having a conversation with yourself is part of being sane.'

'I agree it can be looked at weirdly, but look at the two wizards you serve.'

'So... we are going to stop?'

'Yes.'

'When?'

=^.^=

'Hey! I was talking to you!'

Severus sighed running his long digets through his thick black locks. "This is not good..."

"What's not good my boy?" Turning around, Severus faced Hogwarts' Headmaster who had a concered mask on his wrinkled face. Severus silently walked across Dumbledore's office and stood behind one of the chairs with his large hands gripping the top, his muscles clenching from the strain he was putting on them, turning his knuckles white.

Albus walked over to his own chair, steadily lowering himself down.

"Severus, what did Tom do this time?"

"Albus, we have a problem." He started, wishing he could stop before he wound up getting Kadavra'd. "It seems that while Ms. Granger was out yesterday, she had been captured." Pausing, he waited for the curses to fly. "When I was summoned, and the way that the Dark Lord had started the meeting, I knew something was different."

"Severus... what happened to Ms. Granger?" The usual twinkling eyes dull.

"She was held appart from the rest, ordered untouched. When I had gotten there, Malfoy brought her out, the Dark Lord gave her to me as a gift."

"Where is she now?"

"Spinners End. I had placed her in the room that Draco uses when he visits, and as much as I hate it, my mother's clothes are for her to wear untill I get some proper clothes for her to wear." He still waited for the hexs to come flying, even from Minerva if she just so happen to walk into the room. The witch was most likely recovering from her night with the old coot in the bed chambers. An unpleasant shiver went up his spine when the image of the winkly elders together in bed popped into his keen mind. Severus really did not want to get sick, especially in front of the Headmaster. He did not plan to spend his day in the Hospital Wing.

Albus looked at Severus, the boy he practically raised into a man after school, and saw the worry in his eyes. Could it be possible that Severus really cared for this young girl? The entire Hogwarts staff knew of how much he berated her and gave her a harder time than any other student at the school. Was it possible that he cared enough to have her give her best? To earn the best? "Seveus, I think you better go to young Miss Granger. She may need you more than ever now that she is in your hands."

"Yes Headmaster, but what about my classes? What are you going to tell Gr- Minerva?"

Albus caught on that the boy almost called the Deputy Headmistress 'Grandma', the term that he had called her when he was still young. "I will tell the school that you are out doing an errand for me, and I don't know how long it is going to take. During that time, we sadly can't have Ms. Granger come back to school... You are going to have to do as Tom asks, break her and train her."

"But-"

"No child, you need her trust. Trust will help you train her the way Tom wants her to be, like every other young girl that has been dragged into his war. And when you agree she is ready, you may come back to the school, bringing her with you. When she is here she can do her school work privately aound her other work."

"But-"

"The other staff won't find out just yet. I'll have to talk to Minerva about it first and see how to aproach this. Though, we both know that she would fall off her pedestool when she learns." The Headmaster now drifting off from his conversation with the Potions Master.

"What about her tail?"

"Wha-? Pardon dear boy?"

"Ms. Granger's tail and other assets, what do you plan on me to do with those?"

"Help her."

=^.^=

Severus grumbled as he stepped through the fireplace into his home. Dumbledore was little help to him. Deciding to go and get the girl to start her new training (don't want an untrained slave for when a true follower comes to visit). Stopping at the door to the bedroom, Severus signed and opened the door to walk in.

He could not help but freeze when he saw the girl.

hey everyone! i hope you liked this chapter! i would be posting this tonight, besides the fact that i am spending time with my grandparents at their trailer and i have no internet up here (besides it gives me more time to write up chapters). and we would like to appalogize for the long wist (though if you read my other stories, its common for something to happen and it takes forever to update... i need to get back to my Teen Titans story... poor people must feel neglected!) but my editor had problems with her computer and her e-mail address was hacked. we just fixed the problem and so now we have this chapter finished.
